I wouldn't make it too political
America's heritage is Rome, and our gods ought to be Roman.
WASPs DID THIS IN THE PAST
It's not political, it's spiritual.
ROME OR GREECE?
ALL ARE PARTS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION
AS IS THE ORIGINAL VEDANTA
Greco-Roman civilization is the foundation of Western civilization.
CANNOT FORGET FINNIC PAGANISM EITHER
IT ENABLED THEM TO MAKE QUALITY DEATH METAL
The religion has to be true, if not literally then it has to describe some significant part of reality
That's also a good point.
I AGREE
IT MUST BE A REALIST RELIGION
Christianity tells you to live in a way that doesn't work in reality
AND FOR IT TO BE THAT
Roman religion wasn't based on belief, but tradition.
but it's ok because this world is just a test for the next one
IT MUST BE TRANSCENDENT
BUT ALSO MUST ACCEPT THE METAPHYSICAL AS PART OF THE REAL
Jung found traces of native American religion in his American Christian clients
It's ugly and it doesn't work
ASIATIC RELIGION IS SORT OF AN AMERICAN TROPE
WE LIKE TO ADOPT IT TO SEEM PROFOUND
THAT WAS THE POINT OF CHARLTON'S CITING THAT ARTICLE ABOUT AMERICAN HINDUS
WHO TAKES THE BEATLES SERIOUSLY?
Roman religion is orthopraxic, not orthodoxic.
THEN AGAIN, GEORGE HARRISON TOOK IT SERIOUSLY
The Beatles is the most overrated music in all of history
It's about right action, not the right words.
He said that the traces weren't consciously known to the people he interviewed
Their only contribution was in technique, figuring out how to have more sustain on a guitar in Helter Skelter
basically his conclusion was that the land affected them in subtle ways.
if you believe in Divine stuff this isn't too far fetched
Connections between races and lands are real
But I don't think it works like that
I'm not too interested in that stuff as you know
@sdlkfmbklfnldneg INCLUDING CLEAR/REALISTIC THINKING
Which is what the Romans gave us.
AND THE GREEKS
